Projects of the day cowboy wog and receiver winch mount

admin

Needed a way to mount a winch on gooseneck but didn't want it in the way and on it all the time so I decided to build a receiver mount winch mount, turned out really good got half the money or less in it for what I could buy one for and 10 times stouter.  Got done with that and finally decided to do something with the tractor disc I've had lying around forever so I may a cowboy wog, you cook on the top and put your wood or charcoal in disc on bottom.

Reply:Looks good on the wok. I just hope you burned in the welds really hot 'cause that plow steel doesn't accept weld real good.                                                       MikeOl' Stonebreaker  "Experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes"Hobart G-213 portableMiller 175 migMiller thunderbolt ac/dc stick Victor O/A setupMakita chop saw
Reply:I've welded a lot and never had it fail.  I find myself changing a lot sometimes I'll make it really tight as seen above then sometimes I'll go for looks with the dimes just depends on the mood I'm in.  I built over a 100 bumpers working for my old boss and never had a weld fail that I knew of but I do understand the argument on the dime look.
Reply:Originally Posted by tackitLooks like half the weld bead is missing, mig welding dimes is going to get someone killed.Someone here posted a pic of how it's supposed to be done.    Now his weld impresses me and I wouldn't have a problem paying the man for his time.  The dime thing won't fly with me especially on a structural weld.
Reply:I can agree that if you stepping like that it should be closer but I don't see any weld on this thing that looks unfit for it's job.  I personally spray transfer on metal this thick.  I short circuit very very little if I can help it.
